FRANKLIN M. REED, OF LAWRENGEBURG, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO W.0. SMITH, OF WASHINGTON COURT-HOUSE, OHIO.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,516, dated January17, 1882.

Application filed December 3, 1881. (No specimens.)

5 and useful Improvements in the Treatment of R- sin-Oil for MixingPaints; and Ido hereby declare the following tube a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it 10 pertains to make and use it.

My invention relates to an improvement in the treatment of resin-oil;and it consists in mixing with the oil certain ingredients which destroyits raw nature or quality, so as to lit it 15 for use in mixing paints.To one and a half gallons of the oil I add two dramstungstate of soda,one ounce of carbolic acid, one-half pound of henzine, one poundofguln-shellac in solution, and one pound of liquid japan. These 20ingredients are to be thoroughly shaken until they are intermingled,when the oil is ready for use.

Resin-oil contains much greater adhesive qualities, will adhere muchbetter, will preserve the wood more perfectly, will not evaporate soreadily, and has a greater penetr'ative power than any other oil; but itcould never be satisfactorily used in mixing a better class of paints onaccount of its raw nature. By thus treating it as above described theoil is prepared for use in mixing the finest paints.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- The method described oftreating resin-oil, consistingjnadding thereto tungstate of soda,carbolic acid, benzine, gum-shellac, and japan, in or about theproportions specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of [W0 witnesses.
